Rumi on love
The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Be wild and crazy and drunk with Love, if you are too careful, Love will not find you.__ Rumi ^i^
No pearls before swine
When the remedy you have offered only increases the disease, then leave him who will not be cured, and tell your story to someone who seeks the truth. Rumi
Become the Light
No mirror ever became iron again; No bread ever became wheat; No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light. Rumi

L-theanine as a unique anxiety reliever
Human studies have shown that taking L-Theanine results in the emission of brain waves associated with relaxation. L-theanine’s effect on the brain can be seen on an EEG.

This is exactly the type of relaxation prescribed by sleep therapists. If theanine is present in the body at the time stroke occurs, the damaged area will be significantly reduced. Theanine is a powerful antidote to the effects of alcohol. Continue reading
Why are so many hating on Whitney Houston?
